Althea keeps the contacts with Honda and Moriwaki for WSBK

Althea is considering moving to Honda and Moriwaki at the Superbike World Championship. The italian team debuted a decade ago, first with Honda, then with Ducati, Aprilia and since 2016 with BMW. The owner of the structure is open to any chance for 2019.

According to the website Tutto Motor Web Web discussions are being held between Honda and Moriwaki for the japanese manufacturer to renew it’s path in the WSBK after the less good results of the last years with the official formation Red Bull Honda – that is the structure of Ten Kate. An agreement between Honda and Moriwaki may be coming soon, and Moriwaki wants to partner with a team that already competes at WSBK.

That’s where Althea comes in, once she’s separated from BMW. The italian manager Genesio Bevilacqua confirmed to Speedweek that he is in contact with Moriwaki: ‘I have a long and very good friendship with the Moriwaki family. I’ve heard of Moriwaki’s plans, and of course I’ve contacted them. Midori Moriwaki told me everything, he needs a logistics partner for this project. We talk about cooperation. Honda needs good results in the Superbike World Championship. I am open to everything’.

Bevaliacqua also said: ‘In my opinion, Honda’s ideas have changed in the Superbike World Championship. If Honda changes its way of thinking, the entire Superbike World Championship benefits’.
